I’ve had the same cubemate for over a year and yesterday I found he’s moving to another cube. Breaking up is hard to do.
As you know, he’s from India, and his English isn’t always on target, but dang it, he’s a good friend.
On Mondays he will always ask me how the Cowboys performed by asking me, “Who won the competition?”
Over the past year, he has asked me the most innocent of questions that I sometimes had trouble answering:
- Why do we eat turkey on Thanksgiving? (Native Americans told us to, more food than a chicken, better tasting than geese, and they were at the wrong place at the wrong time)
- How did dressing up for Halloween start and why do people go trick or treating? (It all started a long time ago in a galaxy far far away)
- Why do we celebrate St Patricks Day? (Because U2 is a band from Ireland and Bono’s favorite color is green)
- Why does the presidential election last so long? (we’re a fickle country with the best of intentions)
- Why is there a spring break? (So girls can go wild)
- Why do we have a time change twice a year? (there’s nothing like spontaneity)
- Why do we decorate a tree at Christmas? (capitalism)
- How come American football is call football but the ball isn’t kicked as much (Barry Switzer deemed it so)
Man, I’m going to miss teaching him about America.
My new cubemate became a grandfather at 38 and he enjoys cooking.
I think Matt Damon is more talented than Ben Affleck.
That stadium in Cleveland sure did look empty last night. Oh, and Thursday NFL football is stupid.
